Explanation:
![9(7)/(12)-4(3)/(12)](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/high-school/4llwblu6z1un7b7wjlwy2cawaiz0t1kr5i.png)
Because they already have the same denominator you can subtract right away,
First, subtract the whole numbers,
Whole numbers: 9 and 4
9 - 4 = 5
5 is your new whole number,
You can already mark off answer A because it has a 6 for the whole number,
Now subtract the fractions,
(You cannot subtract the denominators! For the denominators stay the same!)
![(7)/(12) -(3)/(12)=(4)/(12)](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/high-school/g1y9eh6pdjoh6dmbegoxjgcg2u0i5r776s.png)
Simplify
:
![(4)/(12) =(2)/(6) =(1)/(3)](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/high-school/cn8j2fjy0xvhzilkjpg599pspa5cj6lbux.png)
One-third is the lowest it can be simplifyed,
Therefore the answer is
, option ⇒ B.
